AN: This chapter reveals some more about Anna and gives some insight into how much she cares about her friends. I'm trying to give her character a little bit more depth, because I don't want to end up making this lame Mary Sue who always needs to be rescued, I want to make her more like Sif, Peggy, or Black Widow; she cares about her friends, but she's not weak. I also wanted to show that Steve wasn't awkward around all women and show his more goofy side by giving him someone to have fun with now that Bucky is gone, get past his serious exterior. Anyway, tell me what you think and thanks to all those who have added my story to Alerts/Favorites or reviewed.

Chapter Four: Catching Up

A tall, muscular man with short blonde hair stands looking out the window to his new room with his back to the door, behind him an auburn haired woman gently knocks on the open door before entering.

"How are you feeling?"

"I've been better, but I gotta adjust sometime, right?" Steve states before he turns to look at her and is stunned to find her soft looking gray wings out.

"You should see your face!" She giggles before coming further into the room to stand beside him. He eyes her wings before looking down at her face to see her staring up at him. He smiles softly at her causing her eyes to light up before a grin spreads across her face. Both glance out the window to watch a bird fly past before Anna looks back at him and analyzes his face as he stares out at the tall buildings in a city he once knew.

"So, what else have I missed? Books can only tell me so much." Steve jokes after a few moments of peaceful silence. His companion giggles softly, causing a grin to spread across the Super Soldier's face. She motions for them to sit on the bed, so he waits for her to get comfortable and rearrange her wings before taking his place at her side.

"What do you want to know?"

"What you've been doing while I was gone would be a good start." Steve states, his voice and body language turning serious and causing her to sigh reluctantly.

"Well, when you first left I didn't know what to do with myself. I spent a few weeks sulking before I started leaving the house to go somewhere other than work or to get food." She pauses to take a shaky breath before continuing, "After the war was over, Peggy was the one who came to tell me about you and about what happened to Bucky. She explained everything and we became friends. Over time she noticed that I didn't seem to be aging, which is what brought me to S.H.I.E.L.D. and I've been here ever since."

"What about dating; is there anyone I need to take care of?" Steve asks before jokingly flexing his biceps, causing Anna to burst into hysterical laughter. When she finally calms down she takes a few deep breaths and clears her throat before responding.

"Me go on dates? No, never…honestly though, I went out with a few guys, but it never went past three dates because I always compared them to someone else." She whispers before looking away.

"…..So I don't get to beat the snot out of anyone?" He asks with a pout, causing her to smile and shake her head. Steve grins, seeing her smile just made the world seem a lot brighter to him and he wonders why he never noticed it before.

AN: Sorry that it's another short chapter, but it's all I have at the moment. Reviews are much appreciated.
